My intensions are to do the most with the extra equipment I have laying around the house.
This tank was started on a whim which I do not recommend anyone else doing but what the hay I do this for other people every day and I miss having a reef around my house. My last tank was an experiment trying to set up a salt water planted tank. There were many lessons to learn from that tank. Some were more obvious than others but to get into that I need to start another thread. On this tank I will stay with what I know but have intergraded my finding from my last tank into a mixed reef.
1 20 gallon tank
1x 5,000k A.D.A 150w D.E. M.H.
2x 65w power compacts 1, 420nm 1 460nm/10k
I have an old (cheep if you find them used) Berlin
skimmer with a mag 7.
Ten gallon
sump mag 5 return.
A maxi jet 900.
I set it up on new years day and love it.. The full spectrum light really brings out the true color of my corals and
macro algae. I will be posting pic’s soon. I don’t have a camera and my best friend is a little jealous because he has worked his butt off on his tank and has also had many problems that was not his fault with it. So right now all I can do is wait for him to e-mail them to me. Until then I am open to any questions you may have about my set up but I will warn you my answers are jest my opinions not stated facts. I hold no degrees and have had no schooling in such subjects other than high school bio and six years in the industry.
I cant wait to post some pics..
